Former presidents� packages to boost BDP campaign

University of Botswana (UB) lecturer, Leonard Sesa is of the view that with the newly passed Bill allowing former presidents access to any mode of transport, the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is resourced to win the elections in 2019.

The Pension and Retirement Benefits Amendment Bill No. 22 of 2016 seeks to allow former presidents use of any Government owned mode of transport, on a case-by-case basis, on such terms as may be determined by the President. Previously, former presidents were entitled to only specified motor vehicles.
